Chapter 926: The Fifth Prince Again
"Even those legendary Divine Beasts are said to only spark eight beams of light, but just now all nine beams lit up and shot straight into the heavens. This means that not only is this Divine Beast alive, but it should also be a top-tier beast surpassing ordinary Divine Beasts!" As he spoke, Nian An Yao himself was visibly excited."But how is that possible? After hundreds of thousands of years, no matter how powerful the Divine Beast was when it was alive, if only a trace of its Divine Sense remained, it should have long since turned to ashes." Not just the young man, but several followers behind him were also full of disbelief.
"You don’t understand, do you? Since it is the strongest Divine Beast, how could it be the same as ordinary Divine Beasts? You’ve heard the legend of the Phoenix Nirvana, of eternal life and indestructibility, right?
It’s said that those formidable Divine Beasts on par with the Phoenix, though they can’t be reborn through fire like the Phoenix, can reconstruct their bodies and undergo resurrection by harnessing the Heaven and Earth Power as long as their Divine Sense remains intact.
Furthermore, the strange flowers and herbs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that sprout beneath Flying Peak are most likely related to it," Nian An Yao explained.
"Master Nian means to say, this Divine Beast has already been resurrected!" A few young people nearby finally grasped Nian An Yao’s words, their expressions changing.
Thinking about how they had just been circling around this Phoenix-level Divine Beast, they felt a wave of fear. Thankfully, they didn’t make too much noise earlier, otherwise, if they had startled such a powerful Divine Beast, they’d be dead with not even a trace left.
"You needn’t be so nervous. The resurrection of a Divine Beast isn’t as simple as you think. If I’m not mistaken, although this Divine Beast has been reborn, it’s like a newborn cub, and its strength shouldn’t be too formidable; otherwise, it would’ve already left Flying Peak." Nian An Yao chuckled.
"In that case, why don’t we take the opportunity to capture and tame this Divine Beast?" The other young people were deeply rooted in their understanding of Divine Beasts and were half-skeptical of Nian An Yao’s words, but the young leader’s eyes narrowed slightly with decisiveness, revealing a hint of ruthlessness on his face.
"I too wish to capture and tame it, but after some investigation, there is indeed a strong Barrier beneath Flying Peak, which should be the original life-protecting Barrier left by the Divine Beast’s Divine Sense. Only by breaking this Barrier can we find this Divine Beast. With my strength, breaking through this Barrier would take considerable effort and preparation.
And even if this Divine Beast has not long been reborn, with the strength of a newborn cub, it’s still a top-tier Divine Beast; it’s bound to have some potent Innate Abilities. Although it may not pose a direct threat to me, if I don’t prepare adequately and it escapes, wouldn’t that benefit others?" Nian An Yao mused.
"How much time will it take?" The young leader was evidently determined to obtain this Divine Beast, afraid of complications arising from delays, and anxiously asked Nian An Yao.
"About three to five months. Rest assured, without a suitable Beast Taming Technique, this Divine Beast won’t grow much in three to five months; we’ll have plenty of opportunities." Sensing his urgency, Nian An Yao reassured him.
"Three to five months?" The young man frowned, saying, "Although I’ve decided to buy the entire thousand miles around Flying Peak, the old one from the Fang Family was initially very evasive and then said he had already sold it to someone else. I’m afraid that delays could mess up our plans."
"Fifth Young Master, do you think I don’t want to act sooner? This top-tier Divine Beast, stronger than the ones in legends, even to merely gaze upon it is good fortune earned over several lifetimes.
But my strength is limited. If I were to act rashly without a foolproof plan, any mishap would leave me with eternal regret," Nian An Yao replied helplessly to the young man.
"Fifth Young Master, you needn’t worry. The Fang Family isn’t aware of your identity, otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to be evasive. Once you reveal your identity, it’d be shocking if they didn’t cry and beg to sell it to you.
He says he already sold the territory to someone else, which seems like an excuse in my opinion, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you reveal your identity, even if they have indeed sold it, they will have to hand it over to you honestly." At this point, a man behind flattered.
If Mu Hanyan saw him, she’d be slightly startled. This man was exactly Rong Tianhai, who once plotted to seize the Fang Family’s Workshop and exterminate the Fang Family.
The Fifth Young Master he referred to was none other than the Fifth Prince, who had previously crossed paths with Mu Hanyan.
(I’m particularly exhausted. Please excuse the possible typos. I’ve been quite busy lately, but I might have some free time in a few days. The Lantern Festival is over, so it’s time to get back to focusing on work. Let’s work hard together.)
